Digital Scholarship Potential

Digital scholarship

This is a broad term that can best be described by identifying hallmarks that qualify a practice or work as such. It is scholarly activity that makes significant use of new digital tools and methods:

  • to advance a scholarly argument,
  • provide a pedagogical thrust,
  • offer interpretation,
  • be collaborative,
  • be interdisciplinary,
  • be (ideally) open access,
  • and/or be reusable, downloadable, manipulable, or transformable.

Not all digital scholarship is all these things at once.
